This is a review of a paid webhost. I used their service for over 5 months.
Globat (or Glob@t) is a host that I used when I developed my second site. I used their $9.95 package which currently provides 4.1TB of annual bandwidth, 15,000MB storage, and 350GB monthly transfer. When I signed on with them that wasn't the deal they offered, but I'm not posting this because there's a problem with the quality of their service. My site stayed up most of the time, 3 times that I can account for my site was down for a few hours because of server problems their customer service told me.
What I want to warn other's of is a problem I had when I no longer wanted to use their service. I paid month-to-month, and a few months ago I called their support line to cancel my account.. Three months later I am still getting charged on my VISA for hosting. My website was not accessible during that time. I called them to confirm my account was canceled and that I would not recieve any further charges and the man assured me he would cancel my account. Then I seen my card statement the following month and once again I had been charged.
If you choose to use their services, I recommend you don't pay month-to-month (if they still offer it), because you may get screwed out of some $$$ when you want to close your account. I had to call VISA in order to block charges from them because Globat's customer service was gyping me. I recommend you look elsewhere for a host to avoid hassle.
I rate this company 2/10 (I give it a 2 because I didn't have problems with my website often, just the quality of customer service.)
